Every module, one connected workspace. Watch a project move from the first line to handover.
One standard across every project and every engineer.
Test more layouts before the client meeting, not after.
Size every system against the code and show the working.
Price the tender set before the bid closes.
Get shortlisted when engineers compare products.
From the first floor plan to the final BOQ, every module works from the same project data.
Enter the plot, building type and rooms, and get floor plan options checked against NBC room sizes. Edit walls by hand, or ask the chat to change a room.
Electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire, sized in one place and checked against IS, NBC, ECBC, ASHRAE and NFPA. Every result cites the code it was checked against.
Upload DWG or PDF drawings and get object-based Revit models: walls, doors, ducts and pipes, with sheets and annotation, ready for your review.
Pull quantities from PDFs, CAD files or IFC models into a BOQ you edit line by line. Drawings revised? Re-run instead of re-measuring.
Put chillers, panels, light fittings and pumps side by side on capacity, efficiency rating and specification, then export the shortlist.
Describe the task in plain words. The agent runs the modules, shows each step, and waits for your approval before anything is final.
Each module picks up where the previous one left off, so layouts feed calculations, and calculations feed drawings and quantities.
Set the brief (plot, building type and rooms) and Generate Layout drafts floor plan options to choose from. Move walls by hand or ask the chat to widen a room, check the plan against NBC room sizes, and when it works, render interiors and facades to show the client.
Learn moreIn CAD, a wall is two lines. In Revit, it has a type, a material and a row in the schedule. CAD to Revit reads your DWG or PDF drawings and rebuilds them as object-based Revit models (walls, doors, windows, ducts and pipes), ready for coordination and documentation.
Start from the rooms and fittings. Design Calculation works out lighting levels and the connected load, then sizes cables, breakers and distribution boards, each checked against IS/IEC standards, whether it’s a villa or a high-rise.
Upload PDFs, CAD files or IFC models and get architecture and MEP quantities in a structured BOQ. Edit any line, apply markups and choose brands before it goes out, and when the drawings change, re-run instead of re-measuring.

Choosing a chiller or a panel usually means juggling datasheets from several brands. Product Comparison puts them side by side on capacity, efficiency rating and specification, so you shortlist with the numbers in front of you, then export the comparison.

DesignDrafter is AI-powered architecture design software that helps architects, engineers, and developers generate floor plans, perform engineering calculations, and automate design workflows, all in one workspace.
Our AI engine uses your inputs like room count, plot shape, and square footage to generate optimized floor layouts instantly, ready for your review. You can then refine, iterate, and explore alternatives in real time.
Yes! You can upload existing floor plans and sketches, and the AI will help you refine them, improve layouts, and generate visually and technically sound alternatives.
Absolutely. DesignDrafter is built for professional use, supporting architectural layout generation, MEP calculations, quantity take-offs, and structured outputs that integrate with CAD and BIM workflows.
Yes. Beyond design visualization, DesignDrafter automates:
All are integrated into the platform to reduce errors and speed up delivery.
Yes. All design calculations on DesignDrafter are aligned with the standards most relevant to Indian building projects. Electrical calculations follow IS/IEC standards, HVAC sizing is governed by ASHRAE, ECBC, and ISHRAE guidelines, plumbing calculations follow IS:1172, UPC-I, and NBC norms, and fire fighting systems are checked against NBC, NFPA, and IS:15105. Whether you’re working on a residential apartment block, a commercial complex, or an institutional building in India, the platform checks every output against these codes and structures it for submission after your review.
DesignDrafter’s AI extracts quantities directly from your design layouts and engineering data – not from approximations or manual counting. This means BOQs are generated with high accuracy, structured, and formatted to be BOQ-ready for client proposals, procurement, and tendering. You can apply item markups, edit specifications, and choose preferred brands within the platform. While the AI significantly reduces human error and speeds up the takeoff process, your estimators can review and adjust any line item before finalizing, so you always stay in control of the output.
DesignDrafter’s CAD to Revit module uses AI to read your 2D CAD drawings and transform them into structured, object-based 3D Revit models – complete with architectural and MEP elements. Instead of manually remodelling or redrafting, the platform auto-classifies walls, doors, windows, MEP systems, and annotations from your CAD file and rebuilds them as BIM objects in Revit. The output includes full annotation, sheet creation, circuiting and DB details, clash resolution, and even COBie/Uniclass data fills. This reduces the time from legacy CAD to a coordinated BIM model ready for documentation and analysis.
Yes. DesignDrafter is designed as a unified, multi-discipline platform. Architectural floor plan generation, MEP calculations (Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Fighting), quantity takeoffs, BIM automation, and the AI Design Agent all operate within the same workspace and share project context. This means your architectural layouts feed directly into MEP design calculations, which in turn generate BOQs – all without switching between disconnected tools. For larger teams, Studio Complete brings every module and calculation discipline into one workspace, and Enterprise adds project management and organisation-wide administration.
Traditional tools like Revit and AutoCAD are powerful drafting and modelling environments, but they require significant manual input, are time-intensive, and don’t automate design intelligence. DesignDrafter is not a replacement for these tools – it works alongside them. Where Revit requires an engineer to manually model every element, DesignDrafter auto-generates layouts, calculates MEP systems, extracts BOQs, and even converts CAD to Revit – then delivers the output directly into your existing BIM workflow. It’s the automation layer on top of your current software stack, built specifically for the Indian AEC market with checks against Indian codes built in.
DesignDrafter is built for professional AEC teams working on a wide range of building types – from residential apartments, villas, and housing societies to commercial offices, retail complexes, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions, and industrial facilities. Our architecture design software is used by architectural firms, MEP consultants, EPC contractors, and product manufacturers. Whether you’re generating a floor plan for a small residential layout or running full MEP calculations and BOQs for a large commercial tower, the platform scales to the size and complexity of your project.
